His heart felt like it was suffocating.

******

Qiao Chu had just finished a meeting when she suddenly received a phone call.

She paused for a moment after looking at the caller ID.

He smiled very quickly.

"Why did you think of calling me?"

"I need your help urgently, I don't have any cash on me."

"You've gone back to China?"

"right!"

"You didn't tell me!"

"I wanted to give you a surprise, but I didn't expect to be stopped by the cash issue."

Where are you? I'm coming right away.

I'll send you my location.

...

Ten minutes later, Qiao Chu met Zhu Xiao.

He was eating at a roadside stall, looking at Qiao Chu with a wry smile on his face.

Qiao Chu joked, "Handsome, if your fans saw you like this, wouldn't they unfollow you?"

"Can't handsome guys eat street food? You ate it when you were a kid, and you even fought with us for it."

“I eat it now, and my husband doesn’t mind. A couple of days ago, we even went out for barbecue.”

Zhu Xiao rolled her eyes at Qiao Chu. "Are you showing off your relationship to me? Actually, I don't like your husband. If you were with me, you would definitely be happier than you are now."

Qiao Chu smiled.

"If my husband sees you, he'll probably get jealous. Don't say anything out of line then!"

"What can he do to me? He still has to call me 'brother'!"

Why did you suddenly come back?

"For the competition, and also to see my dad."

"I'll go with you to see Uncle Yuan."

Zhu Xiao nodded.

After they finished eating, he and Qiao Chu left together.
